Theories by the Fans:

    First of all, I think we'll never see Sirius alive again, or talk to him. (we might see him in more memories or flashbacks though). I also believe that Harry's eyes would play an important role in the next books. I say this because of several reasons: The first is that JKR keeps mentioning Harry's eyes, and how similar they are to Lily's, and the second reason is found on a interview held with JKR, where she admitted they are sort of important. Dorris Crofford (I think I misspelled it) makes rather a large amount of appearances during the series. She appears in the first books and than in the fourth. I will go on and remind you that JKR usually doesn't repeat stuff for no reason, so I think we will hear more about lovely miss Crofford. I also think we'll discover something new about Crookshanks. JKR already admitted that he is a part Kneazle, and he may as well have magical properties that we don't know about. I also think we will find out that cats have a significant role in the series. There are strong evidence that Harry Potter is the hair of Gryffindor. Why? first reason: in book 1 we were told that Harry's parents lived in GODRIC's HOLLOW. Remind you of something? (Godric Gryffindor), and he also pulled the sword of Gryffindor out of the hat, that's a second clue. Plus- JKR said that Harry's dad inherited a large amount of money. It is logical that it was actually Gryffindor's money...I assume he was rich. I think we will find out that Voldemort HAS A WEAKNESS, and it has something to do with the ritual that took place at the end of book 4. I'm saying that for two reasons: The first, when Harry told Dumbledore that Voldemort took his blood, Dumbledore had a look of triumph in his eyes. That could be because that was a proof for him that Voldemort had some sort of weakness, maybe the fact that he needed the power of humanity and love, which brings me to the second clue, the prophecy (book 5) the prophecy said that Harry has a power that Lord Voldemort does not posses, and Dumbledore said it was the heart. Maybe the fact that Voldemort has no feeling is his weakness, but I'm not sure about that.... that one is tricky... Ron would find a girlfriend. The two possible options in my opinion are Hermione and Luna Lovegood. Why? Because there are many signs that she (Luna) has something for Ron. She laughs at his jokes, stares at him longingly and just shows large amounts of affection towards him.

    I think that we will find out something MORE important about Petunia....(you know we found out that she is not a stranger to the wizarding world in book5) I have this strange feeling she's a squib.

    About Harry being the next DADA teacher: That actually makes sense! We already know that someone will become a professor (JK said so) and it won't be Hermione.... the DA thing has certainly proved that Harry will make a great teacher, also Dumbledore trusts him. But there is a problem.... Isn't Harry a bit young to be a professor? I mean, Dumbledore's supposed to know better than that that Harry has ALOT on his mind right now.... and he's also just a kid... I believe there is a chance that Lupin would be back.... though I don't see any clues for it.... but who knows? Has anyone ever wondered what's with the teachers social life? they don't seem to have one.... we have never heard of a professor's wife or kids... Isn't it kind of odd? I am sure that we will find out more about their families.
    Speaking about families, Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth (have I got that one right...?) is the bartender at the Hog's Head. There are just too many clues for that. The goaty smell, the familiarity to someone, the height, the beard, the twinkle in his eyes. JK didn't mention that for nothing, that's for sure! Dumbledore is usually right. and when Dumbledore said that Peter owed Harry, he was probably right. I think Peter would help Harry in the future. He might spare his life for instance.
    If you'll go through the book "Quidditch through the Ages" you'll find out that the snitch inventor was born in GODRIC'S HOLLOW. Sounds familiar? yes, that's the Potter's family! Can he be some ancestor of Harry's? that is a possibility, though I'm not sure, because Godric's Hollow might as well be the name of a neighborhood... but I believe that he will be mentioned in the future.
The Chamber of Secrets. I wonder if we've seen the last of it? It was the topic of an entire book, and it wasn't destroyed... can something happen in there? that's a shot in the dark though.... just a guess…
    Trelawney- we underestimated her once- and she seemed to be quite an important character hasn't she? She will be essential in the future. It is possible that another prophecy will be made.
    I believe that we will lean more about the other house ghosts. Why were they miserable? JK said that only unhappy souls become ghosts. That's something to ponder about:)
    And I'll finish with some things JK herself said on interviews: we will find out what Harry's parents made for living, that Crookshanks is a half-Kneazle, something about Harry's and Lily's eyes, where did James inherit all this money from, the professor's family life and the fact that wizards live up to a much older age.

    Petunia can't be a squib...Lily was a 'mudblood', so she had muggle parents. The only way you can be a squib is to have witch and wizard parents, and you have no magic powers...my theory is that Petunia was very jealous of Lily, and spent ages trying to learn magic out of books, in the vain hope that she would become a witch...that is how she knew about Azkaban. then, when she realized she would never be able to do magic she blamed Lily, and became jealous, and hated her. That is when she shut her out of her life, and ignored her completely...

    I am absolutely, positively, totally, completely, utterly, entirely almost sure, that Harry's Mom and probably his Dad were Unspeakables working for the Department of Mysteries in that locked room with the POWER that Harry has so much of. That would explain how his Mom gave him such powerful protection from the A.K. curse which is supposed to be one of the three unstoppables. Whatever charm or spell his Mom put on Harry it obviously filled him with that power. It's a good bet that Harry's career plans change to an Unspeakable.
    Dumbledore has said "there are things worse than death". In the wizarding world I would think being stripped of ones powers would qualify. It may even mean, in the wizarding world, that he is as good as dead. If Harry, with his power, can strip Lord Voldemort of his powers he may be able to fulfill the prophecy without having to actually physically kill him.
    Also if Harry inherits 12 Grimmauld Place from Sirius, Dobby and Winkie may move in to help clean up the place and to control Kreacher.
    I've read a lot of speculation on the web that Harry may be the next DADA teacher. I find that a little far fetched as he has other classes to attend. There are seven years to give lessons too and only two houses per class. That's a total of fourteen different DADA classes. But what if Karkaroff is the next DADA teacher?  He like Snape is a former Death Eater and a marked man (no pun intended). Dumbledore may offer him protection at Hogwarts in exchange for his services as the DADA teacher. With Harry's success with the DA club he may become an assistant or understudy to Karkaroff in some of the DADA classes, and maybe continue the DA club as in advanced course in the evenings.

    I have said previously that Neville will surprise us all by discovering a cure for Werewolves. Well, since reading OotP again I have noticed that Neville's Mimbles Mimbletonia is mentioned a few times. First we hear about it on the train to school then later first Ron and then Harry both say the name due to the fact that it is the password to the common room. However on the return journey at the end of the year the name is mentioned once again but just as a passing reference in what Neville was doing. Therefore I believe that this plant has a future in the series and could make Neville famous

    Did anyone notice a slew of missing characters in the 5th book? What happened to Bagman, Karkaroff, and Wormtail? There was no mention of the first two at all, and Wormtail was noted only in memories. That struck me as odd; they all had big parts in the 4th book. I wouldn't have expected a lot on them, but at least some. News in the Daily Prophet or something...but Wormtail is the one that really perplexes me. He is a huge factor in Voldemort's return and he wasn't mentioned in the present at all in the 5th book. I know it might've been lack of skill for the duel at the M.O.M, but if Wormtail resembles Neville, then it seems Wormtail may prove more adapt then we would have thought him to be. If he really put his mind to it, he could be a somewhat good dueler like Neville. I know him showing up at the M.O.M would shock a lot of people because he's supposed to be dead, but Sirius did it, didn't he? Sirius was supposed to be on the run and he showed up at the M.O.M to fight. I just think there were some missing pieces in the 5th book, and I hope we'll hear about Bagman and Karkaroff eventually, though I think Wormtail's absence sets him up for a big part in the 6th or 7th book.

    I think that if Harry walks past the Room of Requirement three times and really
really wishes he could see his parents and/or Sirius again, then they could appear
in spirit because it is impossible for them to appear in the flesh.

    I think that Harry will be able to talk to Black again. I think that  Dumbledore will have an enchantment on Black's old house (which will now be Harry's).  Black will become Harry's secret-keeper. When Harry or any other member that has  practiced Occlumency dream of the Order, then they would be able to talk to any  member in the Order. Dumbledore, or course, had only told Black about this, 
and now Harry. I also think that he'll do it to try to talk to his parents.
    Voldemort will also not be afraid of anyone or anything, except of course 
Dumbledore. He wont be afraid to roam the streets. And I also agree that Fudge 
will be gone.

    I think that there is an important clue of what happens to Lupin at the end of Goblet of Fire... Voldemort gives Lupin a silver hand. Silver kills werewolves. Why else would JK Rowling write about Voldemort giving him a silver hand when it could have been any other metal? But, also, Dumbledore said that Harry could one day be happy that he saved Pettigrew's life, and he would be in Harry's debt... so this bond might save Lupin as well... hmmm...

    I believe that the power that "The Dark Lord has not" is in Harry's eyes. We 
know it is important that Harry has his mothers eyes (even in the first movie  poster it has Harry giving us a powerful stare). Another theory: I could be  wrong, but I think Lupin and James did a switching spell... far fetched, I know but  hear me out!! We know that Sirius was a little skeptical about being the  secret keeper and that is why he gave that position to Pettigrew, so how do we know that James wasn't just as nervous?? Lilly could have put the spell on them  both, James leaves (as Lupin) while Lupin stays and dies. Lupin never gets  emotionally close to Harry ( third book says he "went to grip his shoulder, but  thought better of it"). And there are many times in the fifth book when Lupin  stares at Harry or touches or shakes-hands with everyone BUT Harry. I do not  STRONGLY believe this but it is a relevant possibility.

    Remember when Harry wanted to become an Auror in Book 5. The only way for him to achieve this is to get an outstanding or higher grade on his potions O.W.L. exam. However, the odds of that happening are pretty slim so wouldn't it make sense that Dumbledore move Snape over to DADA. We know Harry excels at DADA, and probably got an O or and E in that on his O.W.L. exam. Snape told his 5th year potions class at the beginning of the year that he only accepts those students with Excellent and Outstanding grades for his Potions 6th and 7th year classes. So, Dumbledore sees Harry didn't do well on his potions test, and knows he wants to become an Auror, so he moves Snape over to DADA and brings in another potions teacher. Why not?

    I think Arthur Weasley is going to become Minister of Magic. In book 5, Ron remarks to Harry that they have about as much of a chance of winning the Quidditch Cup as his dad has of becoming Minister of Magic. Well, they do win the Cup...a bit of foreshadow, maybe?
--Emily

    I think this could really be a possibility because as we should all know by now, Ron usually isn't right except when he's just joking and not being serious...
